talking about season 2 episodes 12 and 13 titled white wedding gets me super warm and fuzzy and nostalgic. overall it's an underrated one and most people don't like it I'm sure because the parents have a larger role than the teens which i can see how that could be a downer.

i'm putting this under a cut so you can read it at your leisure. took me long enough eh?

so yeah white wedding is my favorite episode and this ep had everything you could want, a big event being the wedding spike finding out she's pregnant again, this time days before the main event, we have jt and toby hijinks with the fancy plot, joey and caitlin flirting pretty much all episode, manny playing matchmaker and of course the at the time long-awaited reunion of semma. i remember i recorded it on my VCR in my room back in the day when it aired and even now it's my favorite episode.

so we begin with sean, jt, manny and toby in the media immersion room about to listen to a speech about love and marriage but its acutally the theme of a show called the love boat.

"someone's never been in love" sean says when jt acts love makes him wanna throw up and then they assume he means he's been in love before and they all assume it's emma because at that time yes it makes sense.

getting back to sean, he's always been on the outside looking in despite being a member of the original 6 it's important to note that he knew he was the only one not invited to the wedding and when manny invites him it's as if he'd come into the fold by the invitation so i think that was another reason why he was crushed, because he wanted to be a part of it and manny gave him an in and took it away. i expected him to disappointed or sad but literally sniffling and tearing up made me feel bad for him. boy had it bad. lol @ tracker eating out of a pot. of course they play 'the sean music' which is a guitar i believe but they play it whenever something happens to sean or whenever he's on screen i don't get it but it's something i observed over the years. sean music also could be attributed to emma and sean's relationship at least in season 1 so that's i guess something to note.

moving on, so emma's home from school. she recieved the wedding cake which was swapped by mistake. i couldn't help but note spike and emma's dynamic is somewhat codependent and sisterly. very candid can talk about whatever and they're comfortable about it. spike doesn't want to change the relationship and sees nothing wrong with it. even when what happens is inappropriate, spike shouldn't tell emma about her pregnancy and abortion, a conversation more suitable for an adult being snake. spike shouldn't have to rely on a 13 year old for support when she knows she has her friends around is all i'm saying.

elsewhere, jt, toby and craig scheme to get a stripper to come to the 'stag'. who calls a bachelor party a stag? i guess only in canada lmao they try to go but they obviously look juvenile so craig ditches them pretty much and goes to joey.

fun fact: the address on the strip club door is 212 the number of the episode in pt 1.

so caitlin and lucy come over and they decided to wear the same dress to the wedding which makes sense since they're bridesmaids but of course they're here to party so they go to this weird place with mexican singers which idk the song they're singing so if there's symbolism who knows? but spike aint in the party mood.

fun fact: lucy wears the same outfit in the series premire '1.01 mother child reunion'.

also that scene when joey and snake come over with lucy and caitlin over somethings to note starting with, "when are you gonna add a little spike and snake to add to mini caitlin over there?" it's a funny little nod to the original series, that emma was coined by lucy as mini-caitlin because it's true! after all, caitlin interfered with spike's pregnancy back in the day on degrassi junior high when she famously wrote an opinion piece in favor of keeping spike at degrassi despite the angry parents who wanted to ban spike from school due to her pregnancy. emma too has the tendency to stick her nose where it doesn't belong and this very episode is no exception somewhat following in caitlin's footsteps in this very episode and others at the time. it was pretty obvious that emma was written to be much like caitlin in the mix of characters from the og degrassi. emma has always liked and looked up to caitlin and was seen in 1.01 mother child reunion to be a fan of ryan's planet, caitlin's environmental television show and took shitty romantic advise from her espy as well.

nearing the end of part one, it's worth noting that yes, spike's secret wasn't emma's to tell but spike should've known better to talk to a friend of hers not her 13-14 year old daughter. spike makes it seems like snake would abandon her or not help out when we know snake isn't like that. i guess she did talk to caitlin and caitlin gives notoriously bad advice and says, "call him in the morning." like he should know five seconds before they get married or whatever. i guess they didn't think 'mini caitlin' would wake up in the middle of the night and spill the beans to him as if she was sent by spike. wtf?

fun fact: at the party, mr raditch wants everyone to call him dan lol irl the actors name is dan as well.

poor toby gets his hand stepped on but i have a lot of feelings about snake and emma's talk outside when he yells at her but, he had a point that spike should've told him not her, "why you why not your mom?" but the remark, "what kind of family is this?" was a tough blow.

so then - we got a pissy emma in the morning, manny when she's not sucking heilium explains that emma did fuck up and she should feel bad. emma goes off and sees sean in her pjs and tracker is trying to phase sean as they talk. words cannot describe how much i love that emma went to sean and she invited him to the wedding.

meanwhile spike and snake are talking rightfully so on some boardwalk pier thing. snake remarks, "yeah as friends, maybe we should've kept it that way." but it reminds us that they started out as friends, and she should've been able to tell him things no matter how weird or complicated especially since they were about to be married.

the directors cut always cuts out jaitlin's discussion about their past engagement. spike is late as usual, a nod to 'it's late' from degrassi junior high and her pregnancy in this ep and current situation nice. i love how they reference the original series.

joey catching the bouquet and him lament that he plans, makes me wonder if the show was going to explore a real take on marriage between jaitlin. so the 'slow song' playing at this time is titled just jane by christopher rouse which i scoured the internet way back in 2003 for it and didn't get a real download of it until this cd degrassi released with all their background songs on it. i doubt it's available anymore but my friend at the time had it and ripped it and sent me a bunch of the songs like 'heartbreaker' 'get it right this time' and some others.

getting back to the final scene emma discovers sean came to the wedding and the rest is history. the end scene made degrassi crash course on the-n as most intense moment but also it's probably the most romantic because it seems so genuine. and that's a wrap on white wedding. i also would like to mention, if anyone has seen sixteen candles with molly ringwald there's a stark similarity in the dress samantha baker wears and what emma nelson wears. if you know you know if you don't sean is like the 'jake ryan' waiting outside the church or in emma's case under the tree. i only recently made the connection, someone made a post about it but now it's my favorite little thing to think about when i watch this episode and that's all i'm gonna say about that.

why were sean and jay banned from degrassi?

Jay was expelled in s4 after Spinner came clean to Hatzilakos about their involvement in the whole Rick thing (which got Jimmy paralyzed, Rick humiliated and killed and Sean, Emma and Toby PTSD - not to mention Toby lost his friend)

Sean left Degrassi voluntarily in season 4 (Back in Black) to be with his parents in Wasaga so he never finished grade 10. In season 6 he came back to Toronto to get his diploma (so he could get a bank loan and open an auto shop) and therefore rejoined (although Degrassi implied that the school just let him take classes with the grade 11s even though by rights he should have been back in grade 10 again) but he got expelled because in jealousy Peter planted weed in his locker and gave an anonymous tip about it to his mom the principal and Sean got expelled.

Even though it was proven that he didn’t do it - cus peter left a mask in Emma’s locker for the masquerade ball and many questioned how he got in and from there Emma realised that Peter had access to Sean’s locker - Sean never went back to Degrassi, it could be cus he was already in jail once Emma found out and once he got out he got a job even though snake offered to get him back into Degrassi.

So yeah technically Sean probably wouldn’t be banned. Jay mentioned to Manny in s7 that he was parked so far away from the school because he was still technically banned (which is why she had to sneak him into the dance with a fake moustache in sweet child o mine). But really and truly it’s been so many years and there have been so many principals since Hatzilakos they’d probably be allowed in. At the very least Sean because Simpson’s the Principal and Sean’s basically his son so.

So…how were Zig and Tiny never really called out on being idiots? I mean, they routinely gave TERRIBLE advice. Grace did it once with the consent thing but afterwards I wish someone else really stuck it to them….they were terrible to Saad with no repercussions and seemed to fall back into being bullies for no reason, they gave bad advice to Hunter, and continue to back each other up with bad advice.

I was hoping at least once before their tenure ended someone would’ve gone “You listened to ZIG and TINY?” and that would’ve said it all. (Though we know academically Tiny is hella smart).

Like, even with JT and Toby everyone knew not to take them seriously.

Through this people may think I hate this show. Lol. I love Degrassi and I love Tiny. Zig’s ok.

Is it weird that I relate more to Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High/School’s Out than anything after season 6/7 of Degrassi: TNG or when they switched it to just Degrassi? I haven’t even bothered watching Degrassi Next Class because Degrassi just got shitty after Manny, Paige, Alex, Emma, Spinner, Jimmy, Ashley, Liberty, Toby, and all them left
